Sleepy Mamas

I hear your yawns, I see the bags beneath your bloodshot eyes, and I can feel the thickness of the brain fog. I’m here to tell you that you are fantastic, you are incredible, and I know you can’t do it anymore. Correction – you can’t do it ‘like this without help and change‘. Chances are, if you have found yourself reading this you have reached the end of your tether, and are searching the big wide web for anything that might help – solutions, answers, ideas, help, hope. I can’t provide you with answers or solutions here, but between now and when you are able to resolve your sleep issues, I can certainly give you ideas and hope.

You are wonderful, strong, and resilient. (Not to mention gorgeous!) Sleep deprivation in pregnancy and motherhood is misery. Whatever you are experiencing at the moment, know that you are not alone. Here at Sleepy Mamas, we believe in sharing tips, tricks, and ideas to help each other make it through the day, night, or next 5 minutes! It is definitely not a place where there is one right answer as everyone is different, but certainly a place where you can pick up a variety of thoughts which may help you tackle your own sleep challenges. We won’t be able to take it away, but we might be able to help a little and carry you through this interim period until your problem is fixed.

Since I fell pregnant, I’ve been what I call ‘sleep snacking’. I’ve been able to find enough sleep to just about get by, but what I wouldn’t do for a big fat sleep meal! Sleep deprivation is at the heart of all our challenges through pregnancy and early parenthood, and I really hope that this blog, with all our tips and tricks for how we survive, will be useful to you.

All my love, enjoy reading! xxx
